- Aidan GomezAidan Gomez is a Canadian computer scientist, co-founder and CEO of Cohere, and one of the eight authors of the 2017 paper that introduced the Transformer architecture.
- Alan TuringAlan Turing (1912–1954) was a British mathematician whose 1936 paper defined computation with an abstract machine. His 1950 paper proposed the imitation game, now called the Turing test, and he is counted among the founders of artificial intelligence.
- Anastasis GermanidisAnastasis Germanidis is a co-founder of Runway, the generative AI video company he started in 2018, and a co-author of the research behind Gen-1, Runway's video-to-video generation model.
- Andreas BlattmannAndreas Blattmann is a researcher on generative image models, second author of the latent diffusion paper behind Stable Diffusion, co-author of the Stable Diffusion 3 paper, and a 2024 co-founder of Black Forest Labs, which released the FLUX.1 models.
- Andrej KarpathyAI researcher and educator, born in Bratislava and raised partly in Toronto, who co-founded OpenAI, led AI at Tesla, taught Stanford's CS231n course, and later joined Anthropic's pre-training team.
- Andrew BartoAndrew G. Barto is a computer scientist who helped establish reinforcement learning as a general framework and shared the 2024 ACM A.M. Turing Award with Richard Sutton.
- Arthur MenschArthur Mensch is a French AI researcher who worked at DeepMind before co-founding Mistral AI in 2023, where he serves as chief executive. He is a co-author of the Chinchilla scaling paper and the Mistral 7B paper.
- Ashish VaswaniAshish Vaswani is a computer scientist best known as the first-listed author of “Attention Is All You Need,” the 2017 paper that introduced the Transformer architecture. He also co-founded the AI companies Adept and Essential AI.
- Bernt Øyvind BørnichBernt Øyvind Børnich is CEO of 1X Technologies, the robotics company he founded in 2014 as Halodi Robotics; its work spans humanoid robots and the Revo1 servo motor.
- Chelsea FinnChelsea Finn is a computer scientist and assistant professor at Stanford University whose research spans meta-learning, deep reinforcement learning and robot learning; she is a co-founder of Physical Intelligence.
- Chris OlahChris Olah is a Canadian machine learning researcher and co-founder of Anthropic, known for work on mechanistic interpretability, the effort to understand the internal workings of neural networks.
- Christopher ManningChristopher Manning is a Stanford professor of linguistics and computer science, former SAIL director, and former ACL president, recognized with fellowships and academy memberships.
- Clément DelangueClément Delangue is a French entrepreneur who co-founded Hugging Face in 2016 and runs it as CEO, leading its shift from a chatbot app to an open machine-learning platform and model hub.
- Cristóbal ValenzuelaCristóbal Valenzuela is a Chilean-born technologist and the co-founder and CEO of Runway, the New York company behind the Gen series of AI video models.
- David BakerProtein scientist at the University of Washington in Seattle, known for computational protein design: he designed a protein unlike any in nature in 2003 and received one half of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
- David HolzDavid Holz is the founder of Midjourney, a San Francisco independent research lab whose text-to-image tool became one of the best-known AI art generators. He earlier co-founded the hand-tracking hardware company Leap Motion.
- David RumelhartDavid Rumelhart (1942–2011) was an American cognitive psychologist. His 1986 work with colleagues helped bring back-propagation and neural-network models to a wide audience.
- David SilverBritish computer scientist born in 1976 who specialises in reinforcement learning. He led DeepMind's AlphaGo project, co-authored the 2013 deep Q-network paper and later founded Ineffable Intelligence.
- Demis HassabisDemis Hassabis is a British AI researcher and entrepreneur who co-founded DeepMind and was the last author of the 2016 AlphaGo paper. He shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for work on predicting protein structures.
